Jazz Scene

Famous quotes containing the words jazz and/or scene:

“The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
—André Previn (b. 1929)

“How many ages hence
Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown!”
